Take A Peek
Just when you thought it was safe for the kids to watch old cartoons, that nice young fella, Flip the Frog, starts dashing around hotel corridors, looking at naked women through keyholes!
Even by the relatively lenient standards of pre-code 1932 Hollywood, today’s item, “Room Runners” is surprisingly racy stuff. There are about seven or eight scenes involving sexy women in various stages of undress, a couple of characters cursing (none of that #!@* stuff either — Flip just ups and says ‘damn!’) and even one clunky bosom and bottom joke involving a poor homely old thing. Of course, keep in mind this is an Ub Iwerks cartoon, and the entire cast, including the nude girlies, have that bulbous character design that vaguely reminds you of the animals circus clowns construct out of balloons.
Since this is Crazy Cop Week, there is a policeman on hand, but he’s as bad a peeper as Flip! All in all, a pretty lively installment — and I love those twisted doorways and moldings! They’re almost as curvy as the ubiquitous nudes!

I like the cartoons but any idea when there will be new one instead of ones you’ve already done.
